Tendon and soft-tissue pain has a way of lingering. Heel pain that greets you every morning, an elbow that flares every time you grip something, or a shoulder that will not let you sleep can wear you down for months. Touch of Life Chiropractic offers shockwave therapy for these stubborn problems, and many of our patients live in Sterling Heights.
Our office is at 46755 Hayes Rd in Shelby Township, just north of the city border. We do not have an office in Sterling Heights itself; patients from the area visit our Shelby Township location.

Shockwave therapy uses focused acoustic pressure waves over targeted soft-tissue areas. It is non-invasive, with no needles and no incisions, and it is commonly used as part of a conservative care plan for tendon irritation, chronic soft-tissue pain, and mobility limitations.
Most patients describe the treatment as a series of firm pulses over the target area. The intensity can be adjusted during the visit, so you are never stuck at a level that feels like too much. Mild soreness afterward can happen as the tissue responds.
A doctor will evaluate your case first, but shockwave therapy is often considered for stubborn tendon or soft-tissue complaints such as these:
Heel and arch pain that is worst with the first steps of the morning is one of the most common reasons patients ask about shockwave.
Tendon irritation around the shoulder that limits reaching, lifting, or sleeping on one side.
Irritated tendons on the outside or inside of the elbow, often from repetitive gripping, work tasks, or sport.
Soft-tissue and tendon complaints around the knee or hip that have not settled with rest.
Recurring overuse problems in runners, lifters, and weekend athletes who want to stay active.
At Touch of Life Chiropractic, shockwave therapy is used alongside chiropractic care, movement guidance, and the MaxLiving 5 Essentials framework when it fits your goals. It is not a replacement for chiropractic care; it is one tool that addresses the soft tissue while adjustments and movement work address how the rest of your body is functioning.
How many visits you need depends on your condition, how long it has been present, and how your body responds. Dr. Ed or Dr. Sandie will recommend a visit plan after your consultation and exam, rather than handing you a fixed package before anyone has looked at the problem. Because a doctor evaluates your case first, you will know whether shockwave actually fits your complaint before you commit to a plan.
Dr. Ed McCuiston, D.C., and Dr. Sandie McCuiston, D.C., opened Touch of Life Chiropractic in 2002. Both are graduates of Life University in Marietta, Georgia, and both are MaxLiving certified. Touch of Life is a MaxLiving health center, and one of the two doctors will personally evaluate your case before shockwave is recommended.
